Salzgitter Group Secures Approval for SECURE 500® Steel
The Salzgitter Group has achieved a significant milestone with the approval of its SECURE 500® protection steel by the German Military Technical Center 91. This approval certifies the steel's compliance with Technical Delivery Conditions 2350-0000 for 6–16 mm dimensions, making it suitable for military use, particularly by the German Armed Forces.
Positioning itself strongly in the defense sector, the Salzgitter Group, along with its subsidiary Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH, demonstrated the steel's weldability and resilience under fire and blast conditions. This certification highlights the growing demand for reliable defense materials amidst increasing geopolitical tensions, with Salzgitter AG committed to supporting European defense capabilities through its advanced steels.
The company's manufacturing proficiency enables the production of exceptionally hardened steels necessary for ballistic protection. The SECURE 500® series, characterized by a fine martensitic microstructure, exemplifies this with its newly granted military approval.
